Henrik Sedin set up Vancouver's first goal and scored the go-ahead goal 3:54 into the third period, leading the Canucks to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

Tanner Glass jammed in a rebound just over 3 minutes later, Kyle Wellwood scored his first of the season into an empty net with 5.3 seconds left, and Roberto Luongo made 31 saves as Vancouver won for the third time in four games.

Sedin set up Alex Burrows' goal early in the first period by winning a faceoff in the offensive zone, and did the same to put the Canucks back ahead for good in the third period. After winning the puck back to Alexander Edler for a point shot, Henrik went to the net and cashed in the rebound from atop the crease.

Wayne Simmonds tied the game in the final minute of the second period for the Kings, whose only win the last four games came Wednesdau night in Edmonton.

Jonathan Quick, who made 22 saves in the 3-1 win over the Oilers, was back in goal against the Canucks. He finished with 30 stops and kept the Kings in the game through two periods. But Luongo had an answer for every big save.

Burrows opened the scoring at 7:35 of the first period after a pretty play by identical twin linemates Daniel and Henrik Sedin during an offensive-zone draw after Kings defenseman Drew Doughty iced the puck. Henrik won the puck back to Daniel, who circled down below the right faceoff circle and fed a perfect backdoor pass to Burrows, who fought off Doughty's check to tap in just his second goal in the last 19 games.

Quick kept Vancouver from doubling its lead with a couple of great saves before the period ended, including a sprawling pad stop on Daniel Sedin and a larcenous glove stop to take an empty net away from Ryan Kesler during a power play.

Not to be outdone, Luongo made a sprawling stop on Scott Parse's deke after he stepped out of the penalty box on the power play and right into a breakaway.

Quick made another good stop on Burrows' backhand alone in tight on a power play 30 seconds into the second period, but Luongo stole the show 2 minutes later after a turnover sent Teddy Purcell in alone. A good fake had Luongo down and the net empty, but the Canucks captain reached back with his glove and stopped Purcell's shot on the goal line, a save that was upheld after video review.

Luongo stopped Dustin Brown in tight 3 minutes later, made two more tough saves off Justin Williams, and stuffed Brown again cutting behind the defense before Simmonds finally scored with 42.2 second left in the second period.

Parse's pass from the goal line hit a skate in front and bounced to Simmonds unchecked at the far side and he quickly lifted it past a sprawling Luongo.

Simmonds hit the post early in the third period. But the Kings didn't get much from Anze Kopitar, who is tied for the NHL lead with 33 points but has been stuck at 14 goals for eight games, recording five assists in that stretch.

The Kings were short-handed after losing 19-year-old Andrei Loktionov to an upper-body injury during his NHL debut Wednesday in Edmonton. So they replaced one teen with another, signing 18-year-old junior player Brayden Schenn – the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft – to a one-day amateur tryout and placing him on the second line with Alexander Frolov and Brown, their captain.

Schenn almost picked up a late assist during a shift on the top line, but Luongo moved quickly to deny Williams after a great pass to set him up in the slot.

NOTES: Schenn, the younger brother of second-year Toronto defensemman Luke Schenn, became the third-youngest to play for the Kings. He was one of the last cuts out of training camp, and had 12 goals and 39 points in 24 games with Brandon after being sent back to junior. But he was close to Vancouver after representing the Western Hockey League in an exhibition against a traveling Russian team in nearby Victoria on Wednesday night. ... Burrows scored three times in the first five games, but his only other goal in the last 19 was scored into an empty net. ... Sedin's goal was his seventh in eight games and team-leading 14th overall.
